To remove any domestic and commercial waste, a skip is a handy solution. You can hire the skip service and place it near your premise (if it is placed on the highway, you will need a special licence, which is valid for a limited period only). To warn the motorists in dark, you have to place warning lights against or attached to each corner of the skip. The lights should be on continuously at the night.   

Every skip has a bold red line that shows its maximum limit. When dumping your waste, make sure that the red line is not crossed. It can put the provider of Skip hire in Nottingham at great risk. Therefore, when you hire a skip, load it up to the legal limit only.

Furthermore, when you put hazardous wastes like batteries, tyres or asbestos in the Skip, it can cause harm to somebody who is in proximity. Therefore, you must be very careful regarding what you are loading in the Skip and how much of your waste you should avoid overloading.

Here are some tips that you can follow while stacking your rubbish in a skip. If you want some advice regarding the size of Skip you will need or the items you can put in it, call TG commercials. We are a highly reputed company with 30 years of experience in providing rental trucks in Manchester and a few other important cities in the UK. Follow this article to know why you should not overload the Skip and the list of prohibited items that you should not put with other waste in the skip.

• It is Risky to Overload Rental Trucks in Manchester

There are multiple risks associated with an overloaded Skip, some of these are as follows:

1. Overloading Makes the Skip Heavy

When you put more into your skip than legally mandated, it puts our drivers in danger. The vehicle they are driving has to carry more burden than it was designed to do, which also negatively impacts its speed.

2. It is Very Risky to Transport

Transporting an overloaded skip is very dangerous. As a law-abiding company, TG Commercials when renting Skip hire in Nottingham, always put the safety of our drivers at the forefront. If our drivers are asked to transport an overflowing skip, they will ask you to call for another Skip and put the extra waste in it for safe and easy transport.

3. Objects Can fall From an Overflowing Skip and Harm Somebody

When you pile your waste high in the Skip, it is likely to fall while the provider is transporting it. Overloading the Skip will make the waste unbalanced and is likely to fall out, injuring someone travelling near it.

4. You will be fined

Filling the Skip far above the mandated maximum load level is illegal, and the police will put a hefty fine on you. If someone gets injured due to a falling piece from your overloaded Skip, you will be slapped with legal action. Therefore, follow the advice of our drivers and fill the Skip up to the legal limit only (up to the thick red line).
